heya! I love your work and you guys have brought me so many good fics so lots and lots of love for that <333

okay so I read this fic a while ago, I don't wanna burden you guys so dw if it takes time to find it I'm in no rush

anyway so the fic (it was part of a series) basically had Neil and Andrew meeting before college.

Andrew is in juvie and there is this plan to send letter to other troubled kids as a pen-pal of sorts. Neil is actually Abram in this fic. They meet and write letters. They they meet regularly and call each other.

(They meet in juvie and have a thing for a while and when Andrew moves in with Nicky and Aaron they get phones to talk to each other instead of letters) and then Abram is taken and tortured by his father (he was living with Stuart not on the run) they sort of break up cause Andrew doesn't want to force Neil but Neil "doesn't swing" so they are confused and kinda seperated

that's all I remember reading (omg this turned into a long one so sorry about that)

if y'all find it lemme know <3

this might be it? it's locked on ao3 though so you'll need an account to read it

Ink Stains and Paper Cuts by Paradoxolotl (M | 38,089 | 20/20)

Andrew doesn't believe in regret. There's no point in wishing for things that can't be changed after all. He wouldn't go back to stop himself from being thrown in juvie; he had done it to protect a brother he never knew he had. Joining the exy team there was better than being stuck in his cell, even if it was boring. Even the penpal program for troubled youth his therapist put him in ended up giving him a puzzle to play with. That puzzle was 'Hatford'. A boy with a razor tongue and secrets, Andrew can't help but find himself interested in the stranger trading truths with him through poorly written letters. Andrew doesn't believe in regret, but answering that first message may have lead to something he wasn't prepared for. Set before 'Brother of Mine'.

Hello. I appreciate your hard work. I am looking for a nine chapter persephone and hades au fic where Neil and his mother pretended not to be gods for a year and Andrew was the god of death. You have to kill a previous god to become the next one or inherit the title when the person retires. I can't find it anywhere. The fact that I am unable to remember the title is not helpful. Please help :D

i think it might be this? -maz

honey don't feed me (i will come back) by Talls (T | 31,725 | 11/11)

There’s a new god in the pantheon; Andrew remembers hearing about the scandal a while back, the newest Demeter having a child with the current Zeus and then going on the run, child in tow. They call him Persephone, the god of springtime and new life, the antithesis of Andrew's realm. It would be ludicrous of Persephone to ever interact with Andrew at all.

If only someone told Persephone that.

--

“Hades, right?” Persephone asks.

“Andrew,” Andrew responds, and Persephone hums.

“Nice to meet you, Andrew. I’m Neil,” Neil responds. Andrew cuts a look sideways to see Neil watching him, something assessing in his gaze. Andrew nods in response. “I have to say, you’re not nearly as scary as everyone says you are,” Neil continues.

“You barely know me. Give it time,” Andrew says, because the rumors don’t exaggerate. People fear him for good reason.

“I’d like to, I think,” Neil says. Andrew quirks an eyebrow at him. “Know you,” Neil clarifies. Before Andrew can think of a response, Neil’s head turns. “I have to go. Zeus called for me, and he’ll notice if I’m missing. Thanks for the cigarette.”

I’d like to rec Lifeline by pandaseek. It involves Andrew and Neil meeting at a young age, and having a massive impact on each other’s lives, indelibly cementing their trust in each other. Years later, they reunite at Millport and it is AWESOME. Highly recommend and a joy to read!!

sure, thank you! -maz

Lifeline by pandaseek (T | Incomplete | 10/?)

"What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious. "I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?" Six names? Yep, there is something going on there. "The real one. The one that fits you best." "Not my birth name then?" He sounds almost hopeful? Andrew waits until he sorts through his thoughts. He has another hour before he has to go back. "Abram." He decides after a long pause. "It's my middle name. The only one that doesn't have to change because it can just as easily be left out."

They’d given Andrew the wrong key.

He slammed on the buzzer for the person in the apartment below his, again, and again, and again. He was dead tired, and his stupid flip phone was just plain dead, so he couldn’t even call Roland to get his key fixed. Andrew pressed the buzzer again. He was standing in front of the shitty apartment building with everything he owned, and, although it wasn’t much, he really wasn’t in a forgiving enough mood to deal with someone who might try to take something. Finally, a voice that sounded just barely awake came through the intercom.

“Hello?”

“I’m moving into the apartment above you, but my key doesn’t work. Let me in,” Andrew said.

His neighbor paused for a moment, until, finally, he said, “How do I know you’re not a dangerous criminal?”

It was a joke, Andrew could tell by the challenge in his voice. He hated this place already.

“Dangerous? Yes. Criminal? Not unless you don’t let me in.”

“Yeah, yeah,” said the neighbor, audibly yawning. Andrew heard the door unlock and quickly gathered his things.

Call Me Neil by BakaDoll (M | 16,678 | 1/1)

Hi I’m looking for a fic where there’s no exy but they’re still in college. Neil and Andrew meet at a party at Neil and Matt’s dorm bc Andrew complains about the noise. Thanks sm!

Feels Like Wasted Youth by conniptionns, exybee (M | 10,170 | 5/5)

Neil’s current living situation is … complicated.

Between his roommates’ badass rager parties and his neighbors’ constant barging into his apartment, Neil’s sure he can handle anything junior year throws at him

That is, until someone leaves a passive-aggressive noise complaint on his door. Unfortunately for the second floor, Neil has skipped the passive and gone full aggressive.

Or the Neighbors AU featuring post-finals parties, ill-timed fire alarms, and helpful campus squirrels.

a violent end by set3 (Not Rated | Incomplete | 2/?)

Andrew and Neil are total strangers, strangers that just so happen to be dying today. With the knowledge of their imminent death — thanks to the ever knowing force that is Death-Cast calling them — they set out to find a last friend on their last day. With one another’s help, they may be able to live out their entire lifetime in a single day

There this fic where Neil and Andrew are apartment neighbors. Neil’s cat is constantly leaving Neil’s apartment for Andrews. One day the cat eats Neil’s plants and Andrew has to take care of them. Neil is like an assistant couch and then Kevin offers him to play again cuz he injured his shoulder. They sit on Andrews apartment floor and eat pizza? I love this fic and couldn’t get to book mark it. No idea the title or author. Thanks so much.

Anonymous asked: Do you know the fic where they’re neighbors in an apartment and Neil’s cat is always sneaking into Andrews and they have such a lovely world building? Bonding on balconies sitting on kitchen floors eating pizza taking your neighbors cat to the vet cuz the cat came into your apartment to puke plants they’d eaten. Lots of dialogue and just one of the cozy fics you love rereading?

here it is-maz

we might be hollow (but we’re brave) by stttmsbwa (M | 40,681 | 4/4)

Andrew is looking to live his life in peaceful nothingness, but his new neighbor’s cat won’t stop sneaking onto his balcony. As much as he tries to not make it into something, Andrew finds himself drawn to the mysterious and tempting man next door.

Neil is just trying to find a reason to not leave Palmetto after everyone else has moved on. But he never thought he would want to run toward something in favor of running away.

(In a slightly different world, two people find themselves meeting in a softer setting and in just as much need of each other. A story about dealing with pasts, sharing secrets and a cat who is an asshole yet manages to charm everyone around it.)

ik there’s this fic where neil is non binary and has blue hair i think? don’t know how to find it can u help me????💙

Bigger Than A Hexadecimal by priorwalter (T | Incomplete | 3/5)

The stranger was only three inches taller than Andrew and their hair was red on the shaved sides but dyed baby blue on the long, floppy top part. The blue dye brought out their stupidly sexy blue eyes. Their stupid fucking purple jean jacket was covered in pins with sayings like, Please use they/them pronouns for me! and FUCK OFF, and Andrew’s personal favourite, I fucked your dad last night.

Andrew may have a problem on his hands.

Neil and Andrew are two of the few students left on campus during Christmas break at their tiny liberal arts college. Andrew is a gay disaster and Neil just wants to survive the Christmas break.

Hi, it was a story where Neil was a raven and he goes with Riko and Kevin to recruit Andrew. Andrew is more interested in talking to Neil than Riko and Kevin and Riko gives Andrew his phone number for Neil to try and convince him to join. Andrew messages him and Neil tells him to stay as far away as he can, so Andrew joins the foxes.

i think this is it-Halley

There for You by nekojita (T | 5,890 | 1/1)

Andrew only has a few more months left in juvie, a few more months of mandatory therapy and - just as bad in his opinion - playing Exy. All he cares about is finally being free to live on his own terms, in not answering to anyone, in being left alone (and alone), and refuses to harbor any thoughts of pursuing Exy scholarships.

So he's not amused when the Ravens show up one day interested in him. That is, until one of their Perfect Court happens to pique his interest in return.
